A baby’s room needs to be fun and playful, but also a place that can evolve and grow over time, to suit the needs of a growing baby! For this baby boy’s nursery I kept longevity in mind, creating a space that would take him from toddler to teen with minimal updates.

A Baby Boy's Nursery With the Most Unique Change Table You'll Ever See

Thinking Outside the Box

Thinking Outside the Box

Sometimes you need to think outside the box when choosing decor pieces. In this baby boy's nursery, we certainly did that when we took a tool box and made it into a dresser! It screams everything boy! It’s also indestructible which is ideal for rough and tumble toddlers.

The Power of Wallpaper

The Power of Wallpaper

Instead of just painting the walls, we wanted to add layers and textures so we went with wallpaper that is from the new <a href="http://joalcorn.ca/wallpaper/">Jo Alcorn Collection</a>, dark crown molding and wainscoting to really finish the space in a unique way.

Creating the Illusion of Space

Creating the Illusion of Space

I went with low profile pieces when it came to furniture. The room was small so it helped to create the illusion of more space. We chose this great <a href="http://www.sears.ca/en/cribs/tribeca-4-in-1-convertible-crib-1260353_I.html#q=crubs&lang=default&start=1">Tribeca 4-In-1 Convertible Crib</a> from Sears that will take the family through baby to toddlers years. We also added in this sweet mobile. We finished off the bed with the most perfect bedding from <a href="https://www.bouclair.com/en/search/crib set.aspx">Bouclair’s</a> baby line.

We chose the most delightful glider for story time or late night cuddles.

All the Extras

All the Extras

On a trip to <a href="https://www.bouclair.com/">Bouclair</a> I was able to pick up affordable curtains and a rod that matched the space perfectly, and also some adorable side table decor from their baby collection. I also grabbed some baskets while I was there to use as extra storage for blankets, or even as laundry baskets if needed.

Perfectly Pure

Perfectly Pure

My clients really wanted an air purifier in the room for the new baby; since the room is so small, we opted to remove the closet door to give us extra room required. We chose a great Philips unit that fit in perfectly with the decor and tucks nicely into the open air closet. Other than looking great, this unit reduces allergens, gases and odors in the space and the filter captures 99.97 per cent of particles that pass through the filters.

From Baby to Toddler to Teen

From Baby to Toddler to Teen

I added in some dramatic pieces from <a href="https://www.homesense.ca/en?gclid=CjwKEAjw_dTMBRDHusz5vZaV1g0SJACkjOf8rdBQrd-7hGU8DtdBzCanrhowHYGs7rsWANlQ-WBztxoCqybw_wcB">HomeSense</a> like a faux fur rug, side tables and lamps to completely tie the space together. This room is perfect for a baby or a toddler, and can easily accommodate an older child or teen with minimal updates.
